Muscle, Aryepiglottic (M. Aryepiglotticus, Pna, Bna, Jna)

The aryepiglottan muscle is one of the paired muscles of the larynx in humans and other mammals. It is located inside and on the surface of the larynx, as well as directly under the vocal cords. This muscle is involved in the production of sound and ensures that the vocal cords close quickly and efficiently when pronouncing sounds.

The muscles of the larynx perform several important functions in the body: they provide necessary air pressure in the airways, control the movement of the vocal folds to create sounds, and provide protection to the larynx and trachea. An important aspect of the functioning of this muscle is the creation of pressure between the vocal folds, which ensures their integrity and stable position. In addition, during the swallowing process, the epiglottis raises and closes the vocal tract, preventing food and water from entering.

The aryepigothral muscle helps produce the voice and protect the larynx. This paired muscle consists of two bundles, one of which is located



The muscles of the organs of articulation are powerful auxiliary organs that carry out movements of the tongue, jaws, epiglottis, pharynx, larynx, and nose. Before their appearance, animals could only breathe when their mouths were closed - this was not enough. The muscular apparatus creates the necessary cavity of the airway, allowing inhalation and exhalation. When the jaws, lower jaw are closed, and the tongue is positioned in the oral cavity, air is already inhaled. Therefore, air swallowing does not occur. When you exhale, the glottis closes and air passes through the narrowing of the oral cavity, overcoming the resistance of the muscles of the articulatory apparatus.

The more developed the muscular apparatus of the oral cavity in animals, the greater the opportunity it provides for breathing with various changes in the lumen of the respiratory tract, and therefore for pronouncing sound. In humans, the muscles of the face, tongue, soft palate, larynx and diaphragm are involved. Since sound is formed only when air passes through the oral cavity, nasal cavity and pharyngeal cavity, the success of sound formation and voice intelligibility depend on the strength, height, quality and direction of the directional sound of the voice. The pitch of the sound can be low or high. It is not enough just to be able to pronounce sounds loudly, but it is especially important to develop breathing. The respiratory apparatus consists of the lungs, bronchi, trachea, laryngeal cartilage, as well as the brachialis, diaphragm, abdominal muscles, and intercostal muscles. The trachea passes air into the bronchi. Cartilage with its vocal folds is involved in the formation of a human voice when inhaling air and producing vocal sounds when exhaling.
